Infrared detection of aliphatic organics on a cometary nucleus

A. Raponi, M. Ciarniello, F. Capaccioni +28

The ESA Rosetta mission has acquired unprecedented measurements of comet 67/P-Churyumov-Gerasimenko (hereafter 67P) nucleus surface, whose composition, as determined by in situ and…

Ammonium salts are a reservoir of nitrogen on a cometary nucleus and possibly on some asteroids

O. Poch, I. Istiqomah, E. Quirico +29

The measured nitrogen-to-carbon ratio in comets is lower than for the Sun, a discrepancy which could be alleviated if there is an unknown reservoir of nitrogen in comets. The nucle…

Diurnal variation of dust and gas production in comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko at the inbound equinox as seen by OSIRIS and VIRTIS-M on board Rosetta

C. Tubiana, G. Rinaldi, C. Güttler +53

On 27 Apr 2015, when 67P/C-G was at 1.76 au from the Sun and moving towards perihelion, the OSIRIS and VIRTIS-M instruments on Rosetta observed the evolving dust and gas coma durin…

VIRTIS-H observations of comet 67P's dust coma: spectral properties and color temperature variability with phase and elevation

D. Bockelée-Morvan, C. Leyrat, S. Erard +14

We analyze 2-5 micrometre spectroscopic observations of the dust coma of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko obtained with the VIRTIS-H instrument onboard Rosetta from 3 June to 29 Oct…
